From the experts at Food & Wine: One unequaled cookbook with all the best recipes, from the greatest chefs, published in the past 12 months. Almost one million subscribers heartily agree: Food & Wine is the unrivaled leader in the field, and every year their editors search tirelessly for the most delectable dishes from the creme de la creme of cookbooks. Here are their selections--more than 100 recipes from 25 cookbooks--all fully kitchen-tested. And this year, there's an extra-special feature: every chosen chef will contribute a new, previously unpublished recipe to the collection. Each page will tantalize you simply from the enticing photos and the descriptions, and the chefs don't come better than this. From Les Halles Cookbook, Anthony Bourdain-author of the bestselling Kitchen Confidential--presents his Roti de Porc au Lait. Rick Rodgers cooks up food to feed a crowd from his Celebrations 101, including a Blue-Ribbon Chili. Other recipes come from Emeril Lagasse, Marcella Hazan, Michael Lomonaco, Jamie Oliver, Ina Garten, and countless others. In addition, there are author interviews, quotes, recommended reading, and ingredient and technique tips.
